Mark Richardson

“It’s been quite the honour to be able to pioneer the .kiwi uptake. There is something really cool about saying “you can find me at Rigor.Kiwi”. Whether it is actually a mid-life crisis I’m having or not, the .kiwi web development team (Method) have created a site that I can use to hopefully inspire others to get out there and ‘give it a go’….to me that is what being a kiwi is all about. They have created a really cool and striking method with can direct people to, and promote, the various things I get up to or say on a daily basis and want to share with people. Being .kiwi is just that…being Kiwi.”

With more than his fair share of successes as a proud father of two, host of The Block NZ, co-host of The Crowd Goes Wild, presenter for Radio Sport, former Black Cap, and burgeoning triathlete , Mark “Rigor” Richardson shows no signs of slowing down.

Mad Butcher

"It would be difficult to think of a truly 'Kiwi company' and not have The Mad Butcher come to mind. While The Mad Butcher is most widely known as being "New Zealand's Butcher" with 39 stores across the country, the company has also become an inspiration through ongoing service to the community."

If you’re a Kiwi, chances are the Mad Butcher is as familiar to you as Christmas in the sun and wearing jandals from November ‘til April. The Mad Butcher was founded by the notable Sir Peter Leitch in 1971, and since then has provided the meat for millions of Kiwi BBQs, roasts and other delicious meals.
